Twee schetsen van een man 1831 - 1898

"Twee schetsen van een man" is a pair of sketches by Dutch artist David Bles, created between 1831 and 1898. These rapid sketches, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, are characteristic of Bles’s style, capturing the essence of his subjects with loose, expressive lines. The artist's interest in human form is evident in these two studies, each capturing different angles and poses of a seated and standing man, highlighting the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. These small-scale sketches are a testament to the artist's ability to express character and movement in a concise and powerful manner.
